custom built box behind the seat
all wiring to do the installation and have him install it at my house.

Looks like that will be a tight fit in the truck.

[alvinator]

yes, it will be. Gonna have to think on this one, might hurt a bit.

Yes sire I agree.

Man where the heck are you gonna put 3 subs? Do you have a gas tank behind the seat? If you do manage to fit it all in there that would rock! I made a tiny box for a single 12" woofer that sits right on the tranny hump, made my 8 hour drive back to school quite a bit more enjoyable.

just wondering, why would you have all of that high quality equipment, and then 6x9s? 6x9s are nice if you dont have subs, because they have a little more bass to them. but with that amp, and those subs, it would sound more clean with round speakers. 6x9 technology is not at all about clean crisp sound. because of the shape of the 6x9, its oval. which means when it produces sound, its producing different sound qualities because at the long side its pushing out nice, but the shallower part is distorted when you reach a certain volume. i just hope you didnt get the hexagon shape subs too. please do not take this in any way offensive, i just hope you were informed of this before you bought everything. when i was setting up a stereo in my 90, i thought about going 6x9s because everyone else does, but a friend of mine who is a car audio wiz, and has won countless stereo compititions, told me that if i wanted subs and i wanted a clean and loud sound without distortion, i would have to go all round. so please, again dont take this offensively, im just curious what your going for.

[alvinator]

yes, the subs are round. Since i was getting the stuff at a real good price, I didn't say anything about the 6x9's. Yes, i would have rather had the rounds but at the price i am getting, i just didn't say anything but to me, it still sounds really great.

[alvinator]

oh and no offense taken. I always enjoy input and options.

[lightning_msd]

hey if you cant be the price, then theres nothing wrong with that

i'd put a radio in mine, but there's a big plastic plate blocking the hole.
